There should only be 2 things that you would need to read the CD-ROM, the BUS cable and the power cable.

The cable that is still unplugged is most likely your CD-ROM Audio cable,
(it is like a small one, smaller than the other 2). That will not make a difference to your Drive operating.

Try and plug the Ribbon in the other way (as ubik said) though I am not sure that it will go in without bending the pins (unless you have already)

Let us know of the outcome, else you should check your device manager (but this is Win95 we talking about, so it could be a compatability issue, pls tell us the specs of the drive as well)
